Ms. Bettman indicated her intent to offer a motion related to the options the City held on downtown <br />property. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy closed the meeting of the City Council and convened a meeting of the Urban Renewal Agency. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to direct the manager to renew options #11 <br />and #12 regarding the West Broadway project. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman declined to amend the motion to drop the other <br />options. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka asked if the council needed to take action given the manager had the authority to take action <br />and he intended to renew the options. Acting City Manager Jones indicated the manager intended to renew <br />all the options. <br /> <br />Mr. Klein asked if Ms. Bettman intended that the manager not renew all the options as he thought that <br />should be made explicit. Ms. Bettman rephrased the motion to direct the City Manager to renew only <br />options 11 and 12. Ms. Taylor accepted the modification. Mr. Klein said the intent of the motion was that <br />the manager would be directed not to renew the other options. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman pointed out that the other options did not expire on April 26. <br /> <br />Mr. Klein indicated the effect of the motion was to deny the KWG proposal. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Mr. Clark, moved to amend the motion to include Option 15. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling said the council did not know what proposal it would support at this point and he did not want to <br />preclude the KWG proposal from moving forward by losing the options. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark thought it premature to end an option before the community discussion. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz did not understand the subject and did not support any of the options. She wanted to know what <br />the public was willing to pay for. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy said she did not think the motion was necessary at this time as the council was in the middle of <br />the process. <br /> <br />The motion to the amendment passed 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting <br />no. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to amend the motion to remove the word “only.” <br />The amendment to the motion passed, 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting <br />no. <br /> <br />The amended motion passed 4:3; Ms. Taylor, Ms. Bettman, and Ms. Ortiz voting no. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:36 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 25, 2007 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
